Bass is great, nice upgrade from the charge 1. Would recomment

Best Bluetooth portable speakers on the market. Handz down

Its a great little speaker for the price (bought on sale for 80) and has good battery life.

I would easily give this awesome sounding speaker 5 stars, if not for a couple things. Most importantly is the volume buttons. They do not lite up like the other buttons, and are only marked with the a raised plus and minus, with no contrasting color(black on black). So in low light you basically have to know exactly where the up and down volume buttons are. I marked the volume buttons with a silver sharpie just to not guess every time. Its a very bizarre design flaw if you ask me. Also the woofers on the ends seem very fragile for something portable, that easily rolls if knocked. A little more battery life would be nice, seems like it runs down pretty quick. GREAT SOUND though. Still reviewing the product, but so far, i'll take two of em.

I purchased this speaker yesterday because I loved my roomates charge 2. The one I purchased sounds horrible. The sound is so garbled and distorted, it sounds like a cheap knockoff of my roomate's. After researching I'm sure this is because the firmware is 1.32. 1.41 fixed all the issues but jbl does not allow customers to flash new firmware to this device. Jbl will do it but I'm sure I'll be without my speaker for months. I'll be returning this and buying a different brand of speaker as there is no way to verify the firmware version without turning the unit on and holding the pair button and volume+ button for several seconds. If you're lucky enough to get a charge 2 with firmware 1.41 you have a great sounding speaker. Wish I would have been.

The sound on the speaker is pretty loud and the bass is nice but its not as loud as the UE BOOM. and this speaker is really basic, there are no apps to control the equalizer or set it as an alarm or anything and you can't update it either. JBL claims that you can get 12 hour battery life and charge your device but mine lost 40% battery level at medium volume in one hour. so far, the only use i have for the JBL charge 2 is to charge my UE BOOM. if you want a good speaker with an app, loud, clear, etc. spend the extra $50 and get the UE boom, its way better and its water resistant.

This was purchased as a gift. I bought them for the office and since I bought three of them, I received an additional $10 off each. This made it very competitive.

This is a great speaker with good bass and clarity. I highly recommend it especially when it goes on sale.

Excellent quality sound and base love them . Connecs well too all devices with great battery life .

I originally went to Best Buy to buy the Beats Pill. After listening to it then listening to the JBL Portable Bluetooth Speaker, the choice was clear. JBL all the way!!! I would pick this over Beats 100 times out of 100!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my brother. It sounded pretty good but the Harmon Kardon version was on sale at a great price, so I upgraded him to that one.

This was recommended by a sales person at one of our local stores. Loved it so much, bought another one for my wife.

i love it, it's great! But the speaker could be louder...

Just a little to much bass for my liking. Easy to setup. love that you can charge the unit charge your phone and listen at the same time

does a decent job for the price i paid. i would definitely recommend this

The sound is a little bass heavy, but probably above average for a portable BT speaker. The BT range is 10-12 feet at best. Lots of drop outs in that range.

The worst product I have purchased at best buy. Certainly the worst electronic product. So much interference. Too much. I would not recommend this at all. I should have returned it when it first showed heavy signs of interference which was the first day.
